There's a Homebrew launcher mod out there that lets you use a gamepad joysticks and buttons / pro controller. Not sure if there is a wup installer though.
Can confirm my CM10 did not have continuity and replacing with the part listed fixed it for me. Given how it's such a simple trace I'm surprised so many other threads / incomplete fixes exist regarding this. Thanks!

To get the battery bridge out you have to push down a clip on the inside of the wii mote. Like 20100 says it's really easy to break the clip on the top but it still mostly holds together even if you break it. Havn't tried heating up before though.
More than likely corrosion from batteries? One wiimote had zero lights and I removed the battery bridge by releasing a clip on the inside of the backplate and scrubbed the heck outta it with vinegar and bam I had lights.
I've brought many Wii motes back from the grave and I've only had one be...
